In light of her achievement, Spotify celebrated the "Karma" singer by scattering clues around the globe in the form of puzzles and a celebratory video fans can watch after solving the puzzles. Spotify also created platform Easter eggs, where fans who listen to her music will experience the progress bar changing to match the song’s Era color and the progress button will turn into a sparkle. Top Swifties on Spotify will also receive a special share card and thank you message from her.
Swift, 33 — who embarked on her Eras World Tour in March — released a deluxe version of her 2022 album Midnights in May. She also released two re-recordings: Speak Now (Taylor's Version) and 1989 (Taylor's Version).
